Psalms 76

1 TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. God [is] known in Judah, His Name [is] great in Israel.

Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

2 And His dwelling place is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

3 There He has shattered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

4 You [are] bright, majestic above hills of prey.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

5 The mighty of heart have spoiled themselves, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.

All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6 From Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

7 You, fearful [are] You, And who stands before You, Since You have been angry?

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

8 You have sounded judgment from the heavens, Earth has feared, and has been still,

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

9 In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)

When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

10 For the fierceness of man praises You, You gird on the remnant of fierceness.

For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

11 Vow and complete to your God YHWH, All you surrounding Him, They bring presents to the Fearful One.

Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

12 He gathers the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!

Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
